Study of the loss of Xenon Scintillation in Xenon-Trimethylamine Mixtures

A. M. F. Trindade, J. Escada, A. F. V. Cortez +75

This work investigates the capability of TMA ((CH3)3N) molecules to shift the wavelength of Xe VUV emission (160-188 nm) to a longer, more manageable, wavelength (260-350 nm). Ligh…

Demonstration of Single Barium Ion Sensitivity for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay using Single Molecule Fluorescence Imaging

A. D. McDonald, B. J. P. Jones, D. R. Nygren +71

A new method to tag the barium daughter in the double beta decay of Xe is reported. Using the technique of single molecule fluorescent imaging (SMFI), individual barium dic…

Microscopic simulation of xenon-based optical TPCs in the presence of molecular additives

C. D. R. Azevedo, D. Gonzalez-Diaz, S. F. Biagi +67

We introduce a simulation framework for the transport of high and low energy electrons in xenon-based gaseous optical time projection chambers (OTPCs). The simulation relies on ele…

Radiopurity assessment of the energy readout for the NEXT double beta decay experiment

S. Cebrián, J. Pérez, I. Bandac +67

The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon Time-Projection Chamber (NEXT) experiment intends to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe, and therefore requires a severe s…

Secondary scintillation yield of Xenon with sub-percent levels of CO2 additive: efficiently reducing electron diffusion in HPXe optical TPCs for rare-event detection

C. A. O. Henriques, E. D. C. Freitas, C. D. R. Azevedo +67

We have measured the electroluminescence (EL) yield of Xe-CO2 mixtures, with sub-percent CO2 concentrations. We demonstrate that the EL production is still high in these mixtures,…
